The year is 1941, the Kriegsmarine continue their attack on the Western Allied merchant ships in the North Atlantic.
Bismarck and Prinz Eugen, following the orders of Operation Rheinübung (Exercise Rhine), sail down the Denmark Strait, only to be engaged by the Pride of the Royal Navy, Hood, as well as the newly constructed Prince of Wales.
Their fight ultimately ends in the sinking of Hood, and the retreat of the Prince of Wales, but at a cost. Bismarck and Prinz Eugen now must find a way to safely reach an allied port and complete the repairs to continue their goal of commerce raiding in the North Atlantic.
Eventually, Bismarck realizes that the Royal Navy are on his tail, and orders Prinz Eugen to break away, leaving himself to take on the might of the Royal Navy.
Through another engagement with the Royal Navy, he is badly damaged, and his fate is sealed. Bismarck was forced to scuttle, and sinks on the 27th of May, 1941.
This is an adaptation of the historic Battle of the Denmark Strait and the sinking of Bismarck, if the Azur Lane-verse did exist.
This is the first story I've made public to an actual audience, so it might not be good.
This story is also written similar to a novel, and not like a screenplay, meaning that there are no colons(:), and instead uses quotation marks("").
Please note that I am NOT of German descent, and all German spoken by characters in this story are all google translated.
I'm sorry if some of the stuff in here isn't historically accurate. I literally watched two videos on this event, read the Wikipedia (lol) article and thought it was a good idea to write it despite my non-existent knowledge in history. So, yeah, WWII buffs, please don't pound me if I get stuff wrong.
Anyway, please enjoy.
Just when she's decided to leave the Town, Lady Cressida Belverst is forced to marry Lord Calan Haverston, the man who coincidentally knows a way out. Agreeing to marry for all the wrong reasons, can Cressida and Calan find out where their hearts truly belong?
***
It is impossible to leave the Town, but one woman is determined to escape with the help of her betrothed.
Lady Cressida Belverst has always been judged as a walking scandal. Oh, how she tries (on some rare occasions) to be proper! When her parents arrange for her to marry a rich lord, Cressida has had enough. She has to leave the Town because she will not be forced to live with a man she doesn't love. But what happens if the very man she's betrothed to is the only one who can help her get out?
Calan Haverston, the Lord of Easton, takes the risk and helps his betrothed by using his knowledge of the Town's secrets because he is as willing as she to stay free of marriage for reasons completely different. He has dark secrets he cannot share with her, and his life is not one he can likewise open to anyone. But what happens when she leaves after awakening desires he thought he has under control? And what happens when he finds himself longing for her?
Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires.
*This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
